    Episode 14 - Voice of An Unbiased Diversity Strategist - Stacey Gordon

    "I think the for me the value is understanding why they're going through these motions and making  DEI sustainable. So from a leadership standpoint, there's that. I think, also from an individual standpoint, it's just the understanding that you can also make a difference, right?  I want people to understand that this is not something that you have to pass the buck and say:  I need my manager to do or I need HR to do or I need  my pastor to do. No, I need you, you, sir, you mam  to take a look at yourself as well and see where do you contribute to this."
